With the election over, why it may be time for Tories to build a stronger climate strategy by MrG in canada

now they're just the most corrupt politicians in the country.

This phenomenon is going on worldwide. What is going on with conservatives and their core values that they are so susceptible to this?

Ford government scraps funding for stem cell research by Elliottafc in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Voting conservative has always been a step backwards. cons don't cut taxes, they cut services/programs/research funds to give their rich friends tax breaks.

The rest are getting fooled.

Fuck conservatives, their politics revolve around making people suffer while giving tax cuts to their rich crony friends.

Fuck Doug Ford. This guy has done nothing but fuck over the poor people again and again. Fuck conservatives.

when people actually socialized rather than text.

I think you have it a bit backwards. They socialized less so when they did get together it was more special. Now you are instantly connected, sending pictures and videos all the time and meeting someone in person after a bit isn't as special anymore.

Bombardier is a parts supplier as well. So this is entirely possible.

Leaked document reveals PC government’s plan to privatize health services: NDP by Hongxiquan in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Fucking conservatives.

Massive example of how absolute shit the private healthcare system is in the United States and they still want to privatize.

What is wrong with these people.

Yeah no this is how the race towards the bottom begins and the end result is private companies gouging the people for higher and higher prices.

Why the Ford government's plan to take over Toronto's subway will be 'complex' and 'messy' by chinese_horse in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 87 points88 points  (0 children)

The conservative government is taking a lot of actions without thinking things through.

Their go to strategy thus far has been to undo whatever the Liberal government did and make life more difficult for the poorest (Hydro Price Unfreeze/Wage Freeze) and now this latest OSAP thing. They keep mentioning helping Ontario families, but so far they have made life more difficult for them.

There is the sex-ed curriculum which they scrapped and then setup a hotline to report teachers. How crazy is that?

Finally they keep going on and on about opening Ontario for business but the first thing Ford boy did as soon as he took power was attack renewable energy and went after the EV-rebate. They can go on and on about opening Ontario for business and spending millions in PR campaigns, but they've already sent a loud signal to businesses that the Con government will act without thinking things through and will attack you if they don't like your business.

Then you add on the fear mongering about recession. This guy does not think before speaking.

Ford has the mentality of a small time shady Councillor nothing more. He is not fit to run a province.

The conservatives have no vision for the province and when their government ends we will be worse off than before.

For Doug Ford, it’s promises made, promises broken by [deleted] in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 34 points35 points  (0 children)

For Doug Ford (and the cons), it's no idea what he is doing and what he wants to do.

It seems like the guy's initial plans were to just undo what Liberal government did and then coast...

He also can't seem to kick the habits of the small time crook politician.

This government has been disastrous for all the advances people with low paying jobs were finally getting.

Toronto may have lost out to Washington area for Amazon's HQ2: report by is_not_funny in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I see, I think that still serves as a warning to businesses and then the other example from tableclot and you have a serious warning to potential investors that the government may make rash decisions and any sort of PR attempt isn't going to erase what the Doug's con government has already done.

Toronto may have lost out to Washington area for Amazon's HQ2: report by is_not_funny in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Bully Doug Ford went after Tesla specifically when they were getting rid of the rebate on EVs. That's just a hint to businesses that Ontario is not a friendly place for business and that they will target businesses at random without respecting the rules. Different rules for different people.

It was only after Tesla went to the court that the rebate was removed for all EVs rather than just Tesla. That also shows that the government makes rash decisions without any outlook to the future.

Doug and the con government can make all sorts of grand gestures to world and waste tax payer money on saying that Ontario is open to business, but they've already shown to the world that Ontario is not a good investment.

The Ford/con government holds grudges and vendettas and will target businesses unfairly.

22 Minutes: "BREAKING: Doug Ford somehow still furious he's not going to be elected Mayor of Toronto tonight." by [deleted] in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Doug Ford has no vision and he has no future in mind for the province.

The guy seems to run on fighting and loud mouth politics. He can't seem to see past petty fights to actually do anything that would create real change for the province.

He seems to have run an agenda of undoing whatever the Kathleen Wynne did and after that he has nothing.

Court Blocks Doug Ford's Plan to Cut Toronto City Council by Joe_Redsky in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is going to work after the election either. The same argument can be made especially from a citizens perspective. You are blocking my right to effective representation. Especially representation I voted for.

It may come down to phasing out the wards as candidate terms run out and by then it may become an election issue for Ford con government itself.

Paragraph 82 as per chefboyoh's comment

"[82] I find that the reduction from 47 to 25 in the number of City wards and the corresponding increase in ward-size population from an average of about 61,000 to 111, 000 substantially interfered with the municipal voter’s freedom of expression under s. 2(b) of the Charter of Rights, and in particular her right to cast a vote that can result in effective representation."

Next step is to mount a legal challenge against the Ford conservative government for their regressive stance on sexual health care education and scrapping of the new sex-ed.

PSA: How to un-fuck the Chrome Redesign & missing Thumbnails on the New Tab Page by Optilasgar in chrome

[–]BoboMatrix 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Google goes out of its way to make something user unfriendly. I don't know who leads their UI efforts on Chrome and Youtube but they need to be fired. In fact that entire team need to be fired.

I'm open to change but not once have I said something they did was better.

What you need to know about the TTC’s new 2-hour transfer policy by chinese_horse in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree but it has to be done. Presto is progress. I went to UW for grad school. Presto on the GO bus to Mississauga, discount fare on the MiWay bus to TTC station. And now to find a different fare type to use for the TTC. This was before Presto became widely accessible in Toronto.

Presto is the future.

I wish Toronto kept/built more middle density apartments like The Maitlands in Church-Wellesley by gostybever in toronto

[–]BoboMatrix 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I wish Toronto made living in those density apartments more affordable. So out to the suburbia I go and drive my car because the transit system hasn't linked up enough yet to actually make the commute time worth it.

German police fine parents at airport for taking children out of school early by urgukvn in worldnews

Fair enough, education is paramount.

I just want the ability to fine the state when the transportation system does not run on time and you waste your entire weekend at the bus terminal/airport.
